Using simulation for quality improvement in healthcare

Healthcare organizations and systems are complex with a wide range of variables that impact performance and patient care.

Variation across demand, forecasting, wait times, resource constraints and utilization, as well as financial limitations, make planning and implementing process improvements challenging for healthcare providers.

This is why healthcare providers use simulation - computer-based models that produce a visual and dynamic picture of the impact of decisions.

Almost anything can be simulated - from the flow of patients through an E.R., to the staff schedule for an inpatient unit or call center, or the day-to-day operations of the central sterile department.

By simulating healthcare processes, you can understand complex cause and effect relationships, test changes to processes in a safe, risk-free environment, and use the results to make strong, evidence-based decisions.
